London, October 22. THE writing is on the wall for a universal adop- tion of the new Lb.w. cricket rule That, surely, is the correct interpretation of the M.C.C.'s latest cables to Australia and New Zealand re- questing the Australian Board of Control and the New Zealand Cricket Council to permit the ex- perimental Lb.w, rule being tried in matches now about to be played in the Dominion by the tour- ing M.C.C. team. Both countries have agreed to the rule being tried out in matches with the M.C.C. team.
